Chen's Family Dish - Salem

Amazing steamed dumplings, everything I've had from here has been stupendous!! Don't forget the Thai tea!!! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Chen's Family Dish serves up massive portions of flavorful Chinese food at an affordable price. Their steamed dumplings are an excellent appetizer before starting your main course. I always get the #3 combination dinner that comes with sweet and sour chicken, lo mein, pork fried rice, and crab puffs. I usually sub the sweet and sour chicken for General Tso's chicken, as I find the latter to be a superior choice. You will almost always have leftovers thanks to their generous portions. Being able to get multiple meals out of one dish makes Chen's an even better choice when keeping value in mind. Their location is quite unassuming but their quality of food will certainly surprise you!

Oh my goodness, the unassuming facade of this gem does not do it justice! You feel the ambiance the moment you step inside.Beautifully-carved wooden paneling invite you a friendly host/hostess. It’s MUCH larger than it appears from outside, with separate rooms, plenty of booths, even a full L-shaped bar. We were surprised how large it was inside, and lovely!All of our servers were so kind and welcoming. Attentive and did everything in their power to make sure we were happy.And then..:there was the food. Oh my god. The food. This may be the best Chinese food a I’ve ever had in Oregon. Fresh, bold flavors. Tender meat. Crispy veggies.Cannot speak more highly of this amazing spot. We will be back!! ?

Despite all the amazing reviews, we used Uber Eats for the first food delivery order ever with a $30 discount promo. We ordered Hawaiian Shrimp, Shrimp Curry, and accidentally ordered fish n chips. The two shrimp dishes, aside from some extra red chili flakes in the curry tasted the same. The curry vegetables were all onion and celery with one small bit of red pepper for color. The fish and chips were crammed into a foldable box with fries sticking out of the box. Not a great experience and woukd t recommend this restaurant. It must have been a bad night but wouldn’t take this chance again.

Fantastic experience today! Easy-to-use website for pickup order, my food was ready exactly when I scheduled it for and it was packaged very thoughtfully. Everything looked better than the pictures and tasted great. It’s been a minute since I’ve had such a pleasant experience and it really made my day better.
